One of the most important things I’ve learned as a Real Adult™ is the importance of a job half done.
Today I did a load of dishes, wiped off my stove, and swept the kitchen floor. Did I do the best job, or finish every dish? No! My stove still has that caked on caramel that I need to bust out an SOS pad to take care of, one of our big pots is still sitting in the sink, and somehow a kitty kibble unearthed itself while I was wiping down the stove (?? how??).. but the kitchen looks a LOT better. It’s once again an inhabitable, usable space.
Parents, bosses, teachers, even my own self, harp upon absolute perfect completion of a task as the be all and end all of a job well done, but god damn, my kitchen isn’t terrible because I took the time to improve it. Little steps, especially when you’re struggling, are important. They mean a LOT. They are a sign that you won, if only in that brief moment, and they make getting all the other stuff done so much easier later on down the road.
A very good point
I want to kick Irene Adler in the face I hate ASiB so much I’m
This is not an okay way to talk about female characters. While working toward a society that is more respectful toward women and less violent, we can’t continue to talk about women this way, even fictional women.
You seem really young, so I’m trying not to be too harsh about this, but really think about this post and consider the implications of it.
If you’re not in this fandom, don’t discuss the characters. Irene Adler sexually assaulted Sherlock Holmes. Gave him a date rape drug. Hit him. Got on him. Naked. We are allowed to find those actions disgusting. Because they are. What if Irene was a man, and Sherlock was a woman? How horrible do those same actions seem now?
Spill that TEA👏👏👏👏☕️☕️☕️
Oh for fuck’s sake. That’s precisely the point.
Irene Adler as a woman drugs Sherlock Holmes, hits him, and the fandom thinks it’s disgusting and threatens violence on her.
Sherlock Holmes as a man drugs John Watson, hits him, and emotionally manipulates him into thinking he’s going to die to force him to forgiveness and the fandom adores him and offer excuses and rationalizations and explains it all away as Twu Wuv.
Double standard much?
